SUMMARY:Creative Interventions: "Asymptote" with Nora Khan
DESCRIPTION:Nora Khan explores our personal relationships with computational systems through moments spanning from childhood gaming experiences to contemporary AI. The central metaphor of the “asymptote”—a curve endlessly approaching but never reaching a line—describes both humanity’s pursuit of technological mastery\, and the incomputable aspects of experience that resist capture by algorithms and surveillance. Through encounters with drones\, machine learning systems\, and glitched game worlds\, this talk argues for maintaining space for the mystical\, ineffable\, and offscreen in an era of relentless quantification and prediction. The talk ultimately calls for preserving doubt\, acknowledging what cannot be computed\, and remembering the personal “why” that precedes professional identity in navigating our algorithmic present. \nThis event is presented as part of the Creative Interventions (CI) Series and is co-sponsored by the Arts Division’s Creative Technologies program and Porter College at UC Santa Cruz.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Free and open to UCSC affiliates.\n– This is an online event.\n– Registration is required here.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Event dates to be announced throughout the 2025-26 academic year.\n– Learn more about the Creative Intervention Series here.\n—\nABOUT THE SERIES\nCreative Interventions addresses the interconnected work of artists\, designers\, activists\, and knowledge workers—and the intrinsic and transformative capacity of that work to cultivate a just society. More information about the Creative Technologies program.\n—\nThis program is open to all UC Santa Cruz affiliates consistent with state and federal law.

SUMMARY:Queer Emergent: Scandalous Stories from Twilight of AIDS in Peru: Book Celebration and Conversation with Professor Justin Perez
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Huerta Center Faculty Awardee Professor Justin Perez (Latin America and Latino Studies Department) presents his new book\, Queer Emergent: Scandalous Stories from Twilight of AIDS in Peru. In Queer Emergent\, Justin Perez explores how advances in HIV prevention work alongside broader economic and political shifts in global health to shape queer subjectivities. Drawing on ethnographic research among gay and transgender communities in urban Amazonian Peru\, Perez describes how queer social worlds emerge through scandalous storytelling—a practice of exaggerating and embellishing stories about everyday life that transgresses social norms and hierarchies. Perez shows that through such storytelling\, gay and transgender communities contested the assumptions of global HIV prevention’s shift from the provision of costly antiretrovirals to the mitigation of social conditions like discrimination and stigma. He argues that the global ambition to “End AIDS” by 2030 is not just a technical project oriented at ending the epidemic\, but also a project of sexual subjectification and ongoing social transformation. By taking seriously the scandalous stories that gay and transgender Peruvians circulated as they responded to new forms of HIV prevention\, Perez reveals how they imagine possibilities of what could be as the effort to end AIDS continues to play out in the present. \nThere will be a short reception following the discussion. We look forward to seeing you there!
